And, just in case, that didn't satisfy you, a few more Dypsis pilulifera! :lol:

Bo, beautiful and different leaves and palms, by the way I love that stone work, what a way to improve on an already wonderful display of pilulifera, it really sets them off.

"WOW" :)

Thanks Bo!

It looks cool. I wonder if there was some different parental heritage there....

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Thanks Bo. Awesome shots :drool::drool:

Is the dypsis pilulifera same as the dypsis sp. (orange crush)? I got a couple seedlings from Jeff Marcus and was wondering if that is what I have to look forward to :D .

Thanks everybody, for your comments!

Bill, well, when Dransfield was here in July 2008 and looked at that particular palm, he didn't put much importance in the fact that there's different arrangement of leaflets. Just another pilulifera!

Laura, yes - one and the same!

Bo, thanks for the excellent photos! I'm still trying to remember the names of these big Dypsis. Is Dypsis tokoravina the one that was previously known as "Jurassic Park"?

El Niño has really turned things upside down. So far this month we have received about 8 inches of rain - which is almost unheard of. We rarely get any rain in February since this is traditionally our driest month of the year. The tourists are not happy...

Bo,

I don't know of any pictures of D.pilulifera in habitat or in habitat that look as good as the ones you grow. I guess this makes your brood the 'spokesplants' of the species!
